About this Item

A very nice copy of the First Printing Nelson's important book . Nelson's signature is tipped in on the first free endpaper . A letter from Nelson is tipped in on the second free endpaper . The letter is typed on the letterhead of the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers ( Nelson was President ) and signed in ink by Nelson . In the letter Nelson acknowledges that he had trouble in Washington with Clay , Patterson and Somervell . He places all of the blame for his troubles with the three men on Somervell . He notes that in the final draft of his manuscript for this book he softened his treatment of Somervell because the book was to be a history and " not vitriolic " . This is a very remarkable letter . The textblock of the book is clean , no marks of any kind . The cloth on the boards is clean and the graphics on the spine are bright .
